"And Tristan, I want to ask you about something."

He frowned, looking at her.

"Can you exin why you haven’t announced your marriage to Laura Kiels?"

Tristan’s face turned stiff as he heard Be’s question.

’Why would she assume I’m married to Laura? Did Mother tell her that? To make her angry!?’ He wonders.

After a few seconds of thinking, suddenly, everything clicked into ce. From their first encounter at Sushi Tei, Be’s cynical demeanor now made sense to him.

’She must be jealous, right?’

Tristan gazed into Be’s eyes, trying to find any trace of jealousy in them. At the same time, Be was looking at him, and a frown appeared on her forehead as she seemed pondering something.

Later,

A charming-warm smile slowly appeared on Tristan’s lips when he saw confusion sh through her gaze.

"Be, I know you are jealous. But you don’t have to worry about that woman. I don’t have any rtionship with her, and I never eveny a finger on her..."

Be, "...."

No words came out of her mouth, as she was simply speechless hearing his words.

’What was he thinking? Who could possibly be jealous of him?’ She narrowed her eyes and looked at him, but he just smiled at her, wearing the best smile she had ever seen from him.

Sigh!

She shook her head slightly, trying to let her mind focus again, not to fall into his trap.

"I’m not jealous!" Be rify. She didn’t want this shameless Tristan to think like that and also as a reminder to herself that this man was just a part of her past.

Tristan grinned, taking his time before addressing her words. He leisurely leaned back against the couch, crossing his feet. His index finger tapped rhythmically on the sofa arm.

As Be’s puzzled gaze met his, he finally opened his mouth, "Oh, really? Then why do I sense a hint of jealousy in your eyes?" a yful glint appeared in his eyes.

Be couldn’t help but feel baffled by his behavior.

’Gosh... this man! Why is he acting so strangely?’ she wondered silently, struggling to keep her calmness.

After meeting him again, Be feels she doesn’t know him anymore. He was different from the Tristan she knew.

Be opened her mouth several times but couldn’t bring out any words to refute him.

Sigh!

Worried this man would twist her words again, she decided not to utter anything. But her gaze was enough to tell him she didn’t believe him.

"Alright, I’ll be honest with you, Be..." His tone shifted to seriousness. "I know her, but we weren’t close. Our interactions were purely professional. She’s among the many top celebrities who have be ourpany’s brand ambassador. So—"

’Why are you exining this to me? I don’t care, alright!’ Be could only answer him in her mind, too exhausted to engage in further conversation. This man is capable of twisting her words.

Seeing Be’s continued silence worried him. Tristan speaks again, "Be, if you’re ufortable with me being close to her or any other woman out there, I’ll avoid them. I promise."

She became puzzled when she heard this man’s words getting wilder. If she kept quiet, his imagination might run wild.

"Tristan, you’ve got it all wrong... I’m not jealous of you. Why would I be!?" She wanted to express this, but once again, Tristan Shameless Sinir didn’t give her a chance to speak. She could only swallow her words, listening to his nonsensical rambling.

"Come on, Be, say something... Don’t just give me those intimidating looks. And could you please stop reading that trash news!? I never had a close rtionship with her. And earlier, you said I married her? No, of course not.

Trust me!"

Now, Be feels confused.

She vividly remembered what she had overheard five years ago in the hospital. A few nurses gossiped about Tristan and Laura. And when she checked the hospital CCTV footage, she saw Tristan at Promise Hospital that day.

However, judging how sincere and serious Tristan denies he has a rtionship with Laura, Be feels too exhausted to talk about it.

She decides to drop this topic.

Still, this shameless Tristan, once again, res her annoyance. He said, "You know what, Be? I once heard someone say, ’silent’ means yes. Because you are just keeping silent and not saying anything, I assume you are really... really... jealous of me."

His words nearly caused her to curse him. She tried hard to maintain her calmness before saying, "I’m not! And I also didn’t read the news about you and Laura on the inte, but I—" her voice trailed off, afraid he would twist her words again.

She turned her gaze outside, avoiding his curious-looking gaze.

"But, What?" he asked.

After a few seconds of thinking, Be decides not to discuss this matter again. She already feels grateful for Tristan’s promise — he will not separate her from Dax. Besides, she didn’t have a rtionship with him. Why would she care!?

"Never mind."

"Are you sure?" Tristan could see her doubt sh through her eyes.

"Yes." She said firmly.

Before Tristan could speak, something crossed Be’s mind.

"Tristan, you know where I work, right?" Be asked. She needed to rify something before she took care of that bitch, Laura Kiels.

How can a lowly celebrity like her be able to make thepany suffer? No wonder Ster Entertainment always loses money; her professionalism must be questioned.

"Of course, I know. This morning, Grandpa told me that you work at Quantum Capital. Why you asked?"

"Did you know that Laura Kiels is actually under my subsidiarypany? Ster Entertaiment?"

"I just found out about that today…" a thin line slowly appears on his forehead, trying to figure out what she is trying to say.

"Because you said she is not your wife and also don’t have a special rtionship with her, it makes me relieved—" Be couldn’t finish her words because, at the same time, Tristan’sugh echoed in the room.

"Hahaha, I knew it..."

’Why did heugh!?’ Be was puzzled. ’Did I say something that could make him twist my words... again!?’
